Firstly, Bug Bite > Brick Break to make full use of Technician, and I would much rather give it a Leftovers/ Roost or Life Orb/ Roost set, because then you can U-Turn out of a Magnezone trap. Also, there's no point in Choice Scarfing Scizor when you have no speed investment; even with Choice Scarf a lot of things will outspeed it, so if you wanted to keep your current EV spread, use a bulky set instead.

Main thing you need Rotom-W to deal with for Scizor is Heatran; I would suggest this set for Rotom-W:

@xtreme
Scizor resists super effective attacks on rotom-w, and rotom-w resists super effective moves on scizor, and you can voltswitch back and forth to make your opponent in rage, and to do that, both scizor and rotom-w needs good speed

If you want to use a Scarf for your Scizor, invest in speed; I don't see the point of locking yourself into one move for a 50% speed boost when you don't EV train in speed, since then you won't be able to outspeed a lot of threats.

And I just found that personally having a Life Orb/ Leftovers was better for my Scizor since then it could U-Turn out of a Magnezone trap.
